Take a picture of each step in the instructions with your device (if your device has a camera function, older devices do not). You can then use each image in sequence as "steps" in your schedule, paired with an audio prompt like "Insert Part A into Part B." Adding video will further enhance the experience, as it may help the individual work through a particularly challenging part of the instructions.

You can either choose to use real pictures of the items, or take individual pictures of the assembly instructions.

Numbering steps in the instructions will help the individual with sequencing.

Attach a video for further modeling of the assembly.

If one step may be more complex/difficult than another, you can also use the app to break that one step up into a couple (or multiple) steps for the individual, to adapt the instructions to their level of capability or understanding, perhaps using the same photo of the step itself, but giving further instruction.

To further break the task down, use a separate schedule to create individual steps within a particularly tough/involved step.

You can also use the separate schedule to create a list of needed items that can easily be displayed in checklist format.

This works with everything from furniture instructions (for older individuals) to Lego/other toy assembly, model planes/cars, and anything else that may come with instructions that may not always be so easy for the individuals we love, work with, and care for to navigate.

Any tme you can set your loved one/client/student up for success and create a feeling of independence and accomplishment is a WIN!
